Dusk was gently bringing the night,
As evening settled in,
Stars were starting to glisten,
Through the curtain of darkness again.
Bull frogs were out there singing,
In their raspy, croaking voice,
Bats were swooping through the air,
As they caught their bug of choice.
Masked racoons were coming in,
Rooting around for food,
Owls were hooting softly,
Safe in the barn with their brood.
Gentle breezes rustled the leaves,
Of the silver maple tree,
The only light, now from the moon,
Guiding the way for me.
As my eyes adjusted to the dark,
And I looked around this night,
Nature and life surrounded me,
Shadowed, yet bathed in soft light.
And suddenly it occurred to me,
Most days I don't notice this scene,
I don't take the time to drink it in,
The day's end, so calm and serene.
But You have shown me tonight Lord,
And I'll remember to send up a prayer,
To thank You for opening my eyes to see,
That in darkness, Your beauty's still there
